About Dean
My passion for photography goes back to when I attended the Northern
Alberta Institute of Technology where I attended photography
classes that included working in the darkroom in conjunction
with my main classes in Biological Sciences. That is when I purchased
my first real camera a Canon FTB 35mm with the assistance of
a student loan while attending N.A.I.T. in Edmonton. I still
have that Canon camera as well as my grandfathers twin lens Rolifex
camera and maybe that old Kodak Brownie camera is still kicking
around somewhere. My grandfather, Edwin (Ted) Watkiss, was quite
a photographer in his day.
As a professional photographer, I am constantly setting new goals for my business and myself. Setting business goals such as increasing sales and client base. My quality control goals are to ensure no botched assignments, no missed deadlines, etc. And I am continually working on my personal goals such as growth in my visual photographic skills, a better understanding of the new technologies and equipment and of course the software I use.
By setting these specific goals it will lead to improving my work, more fulfillment, and generate higher motivation to create better photography. I find there is something energizing when you accomplish specific and tangible goals and see your photography evolve.
So what does this all mean for you.
- I will perform and deliver top quality work, on time, and done right the first time.
- I take pride in my photography and my business and hold it to the highest standards.
- I consistently strive to do my best for each client with a professional and comfortable experience.
- I challenge myself constantly with new ideas, styles and concepts.
- I take each new photography session as a unique chance to learn and grow.
- I will work closely with you to create photographs and a finished product you will be excited about.
- I aim to deliver unrivalled value.
- I seek and am driven by customer feedback.
- I like keeping things simple. I was born with the "KISS" principle.
